He owned the Dodge dealership in Blue Rapids.Van's first garage in 1915, on south Main, west side of the street, (later Markley’s hatchery, burned down in Blue Rapids) photo summited by Paul VanValkenburg, he is G. VanValkenburg's grandson. Paul's brother John still has one of the 1928 Dodges that his grandfather sold in Blue Rapids.
